Francesco Petrarch’s Sonnet 333 represents his feelings towards a woman and his life. Petrarch explains his feelings by conveying a dark, melancholy tone at the beginning of his sonnet and a more hopeful tone towards the end. He uses irony in the form of a paradox to convey that his love for a woman is alive, although she is dead. He also juxtaposes death and life, and hope and sadness throughout his sonnet. By using metaphors, paradoxes, and diction Petrarch shows his love, grief, and longing for his love. Petrarch’s use of metaphors in Sonnet 333 helps him portray his desire to be with his love. He uses the line “that hides my precious treasure in the earth,” (Petrarch 1) to explain that his love has died, and he visits her at the ‘harsh stone,’ which would be her tombstone. Petrarch calls this woman his ‘precious treasure’ to convey how much she means to him. A treasure is something extremely valuable that no one would ever want to give up, so Petrarch’s use of this word allows him to show his desire for his love. However, a person’s treasure is sometimes something that a person would want to keep a secret. This could mean that Petrarch has hid his feelings for this woman which makes them that much more intense because instead of showing off his love, he is immortalizing it with his poetry. Petrarch’s use of metaphors and his word choice help him share his grief of losing the one that he loves with his audience. He claims that this woman will speak to him from heaven…

“The Raven” is a poem expressed in the form of a story that the author, Edgar Allen Poe, uses an amazing combination of symbolism, imagery, and wordplay to display the love and supernatural aspect that correlates to the deaf of the man’s love, Lenore. These elements help support the theme. The theme of “The Raven” is the sadness and grief that is brought along when a love one is lost eternalized and can never be fixed. The symbols are in the form of objects and figures. The imagery in the poem…

The woman had died without pain, quietly, as a woman should whose life had been blameless. Now she was resting in her bed, lying on her back, her eyes closed, her features calm, her long white hair carefully arranged as though she had done it up ten minutes before dying. The whole pale countenance of the dead woman was so collected, so calm, so resigned that one could feel what a sweet soul had lived in that body, what a quiet existence this old soul had led, how easy and pure the death of this…

reason, desire, or love, forever itself is yet a fantasy. To lose desiderata, accordingly, is to lose nothing; what seemed genuine and feasible was just a fantasy. In Stanza 2, he says that whatever he gets a handle on—whatever thing will fulfill his aching—slips promptly through his fingers, similar to grains of sand. Mournfully, he asks God whether it is conceivable to clutch anything in life—whether it is conceivable to satisfy a fantasy—when life itself yet a fantasy. IX. EULALIE A man…

the impoverished. He talks about multiple other occasions where the government creates laws that restrict people from everyday actions. Like Hammurabi's codes, the government today creates laws that people have to follow but aren’t fair on a social level. Some of the laws created take away privileges for people, especially for the congregation in the Bonasse Village. We can establish even at an early age, Ivan treats people socially unjust. Ivan was in a relationship with Eulalie and he…

Though Miss Wisk only appears in one paragraph, Dickens uses her character to stereotype the women who work towards women's rights and mocks their movement. He writes her as a misandrist who thinks that the "idea of woman's mission lying chiefly in the narrow sphere of home was an outrageous slander on the part of her tyrant, man" (417). Much like Eulalie, the narrator of "A Castaway," Miss Wisk wants to be allowed to find respectable satisfaction outside the home. However, Augusta Webster…

after his death many writers owe it to him for being their inspirational writer. Poe’s crazy life began early when both his parents died before he was four years old. He was eventually adopted by a wealthy tobacco merchant, John Allen who was never able to file the emotional void in Poe’s life. At the age of 13 Poe had enough written to make a book but his adoptive father forbid the idea of being a writer as a career. Poe left home for college and started gambling for money because Mr. Allen…

heir is similar to the "breed like a couple of dogs together” (Absalom, 149). Miss Rosa is offended and breaks up the engagement. Nevertheless, Sutpen pursues his "design" of begetting a male heir when he turns his attention to his servant, the sixteen years old girl Milly Jones. When Milly delivers a baby girl instead of a boy, Sutpen abandons her in a typical carnivalesque scene when he tells her “Well, Milly, too bad you’re not a mare too. Then I could give you a decent stall in the stable’ ”…
